Our Team
CFPA Product Design
What You Will Do
Complex Architecture Design: Lead the development and design of Multi-layer FPC (4-10+ layers) and Rigid-Flex circuits, focusing on stack-up/ Panel optimization and Process flow definition.
- Industry-Specific Engineering: Develop products that meet Medical (ISO 13485/IPC Class 3) and Automotive (IATF 16949) standards for high-reliability applications.
- Technical Lead for RFQs: Act as the technical authority during the Request for Quote (RFQ) phase, evaluating feasibility and providing optimized design proposals to global clients.
- Advanced DFM/DFA: Execute rigorous Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews to ensure high yields for fine-line/fine-space designs and complex rigid-to-flex bonding processes.
- Signal & Power Integrity: Perform simulation and validation for impedance control in high speed FPC structures.
- Lifecycle Management: Own the product lifecycle from initial concept and DFMEA through to PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) and mass production launch.
- Root Cause Analysis: Lead technical troubleshooting for complex failures (e.g., delamination, micro-via cracking, or signal loss etc.) using 8D/Fish bone or similar methodologies.
Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)
Education: B.S. or M.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical field.
- FPC Expertise: Minimum 5 years of experience in PCB/FPC R&D, with at least 3 years focused specifically on Multi-layer FPC and Rigid-Flex technologies.
- Software Proficiency: Expert command of 2D/3D design tools (AutoCAD, ProE/NX) and professional EDA/ Layout software (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, Layout viewer etc.).
- Industry Knowledge: Deep understanding of the full FPC manufacturing process (Lamination, Drilling, Plating, Surface Finishes) and IPC standards (IPC-6013/610, IPC-2223).
